Unikon Rip off

As most of you know we had a fire last year and lost everything including our ets system, but thanks to the generosity of our club and members we have a replacement, but missing was the lead to allow us to use the system from a 12v source, not a problem I thought I will contact Unikon and get a replacement, couldn't believe it when he said £20.50 for a simple bit of wire with 2 croc clips on the end, no wonder the sports struggling to attarct new members, anyway now were sorted and very much looking to fly our young uns, thanks Paul

it should be easy enough to make an adapter mate

ive got the Bricon speedy i think its miles better

We got a 10ft cable made up with the male /female 9pin connecters £9 if we would have got it from Benzing it would have been double the price the ETS reps make a killing on the rings and pads

You saying that Gaz remember an advert in the books many years ago about a clock in china which cost only £25 compared to the STB Quarts clocks this £25 clock did the same thing but this country did not allow it to be passed to be used

Thats the problem with this country everyone is out to sting the other person makes ya sick

Not knocking anyone on here

ffs get the violin out , exactly right thats up to you thats what you want to do mob fly , so stop wingeing about the cost if you dont like it do something about it
and ray it isnt the likes of you who keep clubs going its the so called little men who keep it going

if you were to send 10 birds every week what differance would it make to your club apart from the birdage

i,m like you ian a little man,but i put the most money into our club birdage wise...the reason we do,nt do anything about it is the likes of you ,you think its ok we do,nt..if we stuck together and boycotted them they would have to do something about..you remind me of the pit strike ,you would be the one going back to work like the rest of the scabs...so i take if you agree with the prices you would,nt join us like a scabs would,nt////buts thats you i suppose,different from the rest of us.....yes i still have the right to moan and i just have and i,m not the only one

iam going on about you moaning about birdage and costs , see how many would actually boycott buying ets rings , your talking stupid as usual as for the miners strike ffs what the hell you on about i think thats really offensive calling me a scab and saying the likes of me whats that all about , just answer the simple qrstion as you havent answered it would it make a differance if you sent 10 birds, all i was saying if you cant afford it then you dont have to do it
